Pride & Prejudice and Pain
Without saying a word, Aziraphale moves to pick up the discarded paperback and holds it gingerly, flicking through the first few pages. “You know, Pride is a Sin. A deadly one at that.”
Crowley has a witty retort on the tip of his once-forked tongue about the ridiculousness of an angel lecturing a demon on sin when Aziraphale suddenly takes a step closer, “Some say it comes before the Fall.”

A Northanger Abbey Soulmates AU (Teaser)

Your Letters Speak to Me
Henry Tilney stoked the dimming embers of the fireplace in the drawing room at Northanger Abbey, watching the coals spit onto the hearth and the light flicker over the furniture.
He had been staring at the slightly fraying hem of the chair opposite his own for what must have been a significant part of the afternoon at this point. He was now questioning whether it had always been torn a tad at the seams or if he had worn the fabric away with the sheer intensity of his gaze.
This would do him no good. Henry hauled himself up and walked over to the corner of the room, where he poured himself a generous measure of brandy from the decanter. He took a large, steadying swig from his glass before sitting back down stiffly in his chair and picking back up the letter he had been gripping fiercely ever since he had accidentally sliced open the seal.
It was a peculiar thing really. The intimacy of letters. A person baring their soul to another through drops of ink on a page. Strangers delivering loaded missives back and forth to different families, different houses, different counties every day. Not knowing the potentially explosive power of those scratches of quill on parchment...

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

Yes, always, of course and constantly.
has anyone else ever had a fanfic that just... haunts them? like it's been months and maybe even years since you read it, but it just lingers with you and you can never truly leave behind the imprint it made on you? and maybe it's just a single line, one sentence that you can't shake off, that takes up residence in your mind and stays there, feeding into your psyche and subtly influencing your brainspace and maybe even your writing or other works?

like look at Smaug, look at his ears, DON’T YOU JUST WANT TO SCRATCH BEHIND HIS EARS AND TELL HIM HE’S A GOOD BOY

and look at this guy, I guess he’s supposed to be ferocious but it looks more like “whoa man chill out, I’m just saying that those shoes with that helmet was maybe not the greatest fashion decision, just a little friendly advice, no need to get defensive.”

How every Austen hero sucks at dating:
Darcy: basically tells his girl that he's too good for her while proposing
Bingley: ghosts his true love for several months because his friend and sisters told him to
Knightley: scolds and argues with his girl constantly
Wentworth: revenge flirts with a random girl because he's too dumb to see that he still loves his first girl
Edward: flirts with his girl when he's already engaged to another girl
Brandon: falls in love at first sight and proceeds to basically never talk to his girl, just her sister
Edmund: thinks he loves a girl who is all wrong for him just because she's hot, while ignoring the much better girl right under his nose
Tilney:

We’ve been super AWOL - weddings, new jobs, pandemic life - the classics. But we wanted to check in to say THANK YOU for listening to Trope As Fuck.
Because WE’VE REACHED 300 listens!
We’ve loved making this podcast during lockdown and we promise we have content in the can and in the pipeline that we can’t wait to share with you all. Plus we may have been dabbling in writing ourselves…
Thanks for listening, thanks for writing brilliant stories, and thanks for having us.
